Words cannot express our sadness for you Ken and Jean as you go through the loss of Zhenya. He was a delight to have around and we all enjoyed him,especially at family get-togethers. God has truly chosen a bright star as he goes to live for eternity in Heaven.You gave him a great opportunity in helping him adjust to our world and to learn and grow as a person. He made great progress during his short stay in America, thanks to your family.
All our love . . . Bill and Sandy

I'm so sad to hear of Zhenya's passing. The only thing is that I am greatful for is the fact that he was able to meet Christ through Chuck Newman. And to the he "supposed foster" family who turned him out and only kept him for the money, you will receive your punishment at Judgment Day. I hope that children are never placed in your care again.

Our deepest sympathy goes out to Zhenya's family and his friends. One of the hardest things to suffer is the loss of your child. These parents had a very devine mission laid on their hearts to parent their children. Sometimes God places children with special needs in our care for a reason unknown to us. We are happy Zhenya is now whole and happy, and looking into the face of his savior. He will be missed by many, hold on to
the good and happy memories of your time spent together.
God Bless you Zhenya
